The former Scotland international joined Liverpool from Middlesbrough in 1978.

Over the course of six years on Merseyside, Souness won five First Division titles, three League Cups and the European Cup on three occasions.

He went on lift the FA Cup with the Reds as a manager, while major silverware was also collected as a player or coach during stints at Sampdoria, Rangers, Galatasaray and Blackburn.

Pogba has plenty of medals in his own collection, with the Frenchman having graced the very top of the game.

Four Serie A titles were claimed at Juventus before returning to Old Trafford in 2016 and helping United to League Cup and Europa League triumphs.

He was then a talismanic presence for France as they lifted the World Cup in 2018, with an impressive strike recorded in a 4-2 final victory over Croatia.

Pogba has, however, attracted criticism throughout his time in England and another Liverpool icon, Jamie Carragher, says he needs to take the opinions of others “on the chin”.

He told Sky Sports: “We are quite critical of Paul Pogba but when you are a player you have got to be respectful of certain people with certain opinions at different times. You have to take that criticism on the chin.

“To come out and say he’s never heard of Graeme Souness, I thought was below the belt.”
